Past Projects: iPhone 5c,6,6S,7,8,XR,11,SE2,13,16Device-level hardware design ownership and engineering development over full product life-cycles: • architecture definition, feature specification, early stage technical investigation and rapid pilot prototyping, sub-system integrations, hardware validations, coexistence mitigations;• component selection and BOM optimization, circuit and power simulation, schematics and board layout designs (of rigid PCB and FPC), design for manufacturing and reliability;• strategic product qualifications across parallel international sites

• Managed test plan and data-driven insights in engineering builds from factory station GR&R to test yield bridges.• Defined and developed station test recipes, coverage, and fixtures from board layout, factory bring-up, bench validation, debug, to automation.• Responsible for resolving high-priority iPhone engineering build test blockers with cross-functional teams, including fixture vendors, manufacturing, low-level bootloader and firmware, mechanical, motion sensor teams under tight deadlines

Summary: Team lead in the Mobile Product Development & Engineering group for world's largest electronic manufacturer in shipping industry leading products. Designed and developed factory tests and system automated validation suites. Provided product prognosis/diagnosis/post-mortem in engineering builds. Seasoned in NPI project development for SMT/FATP manufacturing lines across 5 high-volume electronic products.Details:• Experienced in board-level functional test strategies, SMT and FATP factory test designs from prototyping to mass production for consumer electronics• Championed a group of 8 engineers in day-to-day factory validations, test station readiness, and board/system level failure analysis in high-volume NPI projects.• Reported across levels of company management on factory test gaps, hardware design risks, and top failure modes based on real-time manufacturing top-hitters to customer returns.• Designed internal test documents and workflows to reduce YOY post ramp costs, identified manufacturing best-practices, and facilitated knowledge-transfer to operation team over Mass Production• Developed LabVIEW and python automation scripts for system power and validated UART/I2C/SPI/USB/MIPI signal integrity and features across silicon corners.
